My Billy Boy

My darling young-man-child son. This is for/about him.



Last week his English teacher gave me an assignment. They are studying Romeo and Juliet and how it relates to modern times. Specifically the conflict between what a family wants for a teen and what a teen wants for himself. I was to write what qualities I would want for a daughter-in-law. Then I was to write what I think Billy would want in a spouse. He had to do the same thing and then we got to compare. The answers are in no particular order. This was fun. The answers are below.
